Jubilee Churches

December 9th, at 9:30 AM

The Jubilee Churches of Gloucester, a coalition of congregations in Gloucester (including Apostles), will be meeting on Wednesday, December 9th, at 9:30 AM at Bellamy United Methodist Church.

Anyone is welcome to attend!!

The Rev. Dr. Ed Walker, pastor of Bellamy United Methodist Church, and Pete Liljeberg are the co-moderators of the Jubilee Churches of Gloucester.

Jubilee Churches work together to prevent homelessness crises for our neighbors in Gloucester County.

In September, Jubilee helped a young single mother who works locally. She does not get child support because she and her ex have a 50/50 custody arrangement that she described as really good for the kids. She believes the involvement of dad is more valuable to them than child support. Mom drives an older, paid for, car that required significant repairs over the summer. Those repairs put her behind in rent. During one of our conversations, mom was door-dashing food, a job she took on while she didn't have the kids, so she could pay something toward the outstanding rent. Jubilee paid half of the outstanding amount, Samaritan Group paid a portion and mom contributed from her side job.

Jubilee Churches had 12 requests in September - 5 people were helped with $4,028.50. The Jubilee Fund balance is $9,157.

Finally, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity will be January 18-25, 2027 - there will be a joint worship service as well as daily prayer services. eld each day during that week.
